| Fallujah Torture House Busted |
| 2007-01-25 |
| CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Coalition forces discovered a building with blood-stained walls in southeast of Fallujah late Monday night and rescued three Iraqis found shackled inside. One of the victims was so badly beaten he had broken limbs. He was examined and quickly evacuated by Coalition forces to receive life-saving medical care. During their patrol, Soldiers from B Company, 2nd Battalion, 136th Infantry Regiment discovered multiple weapons caches in other nearby houses early this morning while conducting intelligence-driven searches. The discovery included a mortar targeting system and a sniper rifle with scope, as well as a Bongo truck with a mounted anti-aircraft gun and another vehicle rigged as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. “This is a perfect example of how information can save lives,” said Coalition spokesman Major Alan F. Crouch. “More often it’s the Iraqi Army and police who use this information to help people, but the Coalition Forces will always be glad to use tips and information we receive to help civilians.” The Guardsman from Minnesota also detained four suspects in one house and six suspects in another house. The suspects have been moved to a nearby base for questioning. Once the bound hostages were rescued from the house with the blood-stained walls, the suspected “torture house” was destroyed by Coalition forces. There were no other civilian, Iraqi security forces or Coalition forces casualties reported. |

| #7 Fallujah has apparently always had a reputation for being a bunch of backwards country thugs. I saw the other day about a 1940s-1950s era travel guide that told people traveling in the area to stay away from Fallujah. Its prime location makes 70% of all traffic that goes west in Iraq pass through the area. Two major highways go through the area. Route Michigan (Hwy 10) and Route Mobile (Think of as I-10), so it is in a good position to collect taxes and control traffic. Once you go about 10 miles east of Fallujah, you're in greater Baghdad. As the IA & IP guys I worked with said, "%uck Fallujah!" (They said it in English too.....) Bring in the D-9s!....again! |

| #3 They should have added more splatter to the walls with the terrorist's blood. Then hung them in the streets as a warning to others. |
